If you keep the same ProductCode (the guid at produ...@id in your code) then the MSI must keep the same name. If you can't guarantee the same name then you should look at Major Upgrades. The easiest way to keep the ProductCode changing is to use '*' as the value for produ...@id.

(Which was relatively easy). I am testing the upgrade msi. if the original MSI (Xyz.msi) is present in the original path the upgrade is done smoothly. I am using the command: >msiexec /i XyzUpgrade.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus But if the original Xyz.msi is not present the msiexec displays a message similar to "A Network error occurred while attempting to read from the file "c:\.......\Xyz.msi"" My problem is that many users delete the MSI file after the installation and the upgrade will fail. How can I solve this problem? Thanks Giora ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Come build with us!
